I'm so incredibly excited to bring you the Review & Excerpt Tour for Jay Crownover's BETTER WHEN HE'S BRAVE!! BETTER WHEN HE’S BRAVE is a New Adult Contemporary Romance novel being published by HarperCollins, and it is the 3rd book in Welcome to the Point Series. This amazing book releases on August 11th!!
Synopsis:
In New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jay Crownover’s third novel in her sexy, thrilling Welcome to the Point series, a woman’s search for repentance leads her to the one man from her past she can’t forget as they join forces to save their city—and the explosive love neither can live without.
Titus King has always seen his world in black and white. There is a firm right and wrong in his mind, which is why as a teenager he left behind the only family he’d ever known to make a better life for himself. Now a police detective in one of the worst cities in the country, he can’t deny his life has turned into a million different shades of gray.
The new criminal element in The Point has brought vengeance and destruction right to Titus’s front door, and walking the straight and narrow seems far less important now. The difference between right and wrong is nothing compared to keeping those he loves alive. To add to his already strained moral compass, the beautiful and mysterious Reeve Black has made her way back to town. This girl might be as dangerous to Titus as the guy trying to destroy the Point but he can’t walk away because he needs her—in more ways than one.
Reeve knows all about the threat trying to destroy The Point. She knows how ruthless, how vicious, and how cruel this new danger can be… and instead of running away, she wants to help. Reeve knows that she has a lot to repent for and saving the city, plus the hot cop that she hasn’t been able to forget might just be the only way she can finally find some inner peace.
With an entire city poised on the brink of war, Titus and Reeve stand in the crossfire—and it will take two brave souls to fight for the ultimate love.
Prove
it.
Those odd, dark blue eyes
flashed the challenge at me and I couldn’t resist it. Not the challenge or the
girl. I didn’t like that she got under my skin. I hated that she was right at
the center of this mess with Roark, and it really, really grated across my
already taut nerves that even with no makeup on and looking like she hadn’t
slept a wink, she was still the most gorgeous woman I had ever seen. I didn’t
want to notice that. I didn’t want my dick to twitch when she touched me, but
it did, which was going to make pretending to be infatuated with her easy and
so much harder at the same time. She knew it too.
Prove
it.
Okay. I would prove the shit
out of the fact that I could do what I had to do in order to make this scheme
of mine work. I could pretend to like her, which really was the only thing that
would be fake. I couldn’t reconcile the way my pulse leaped every time she
turned that midnight-blue gaze on me with the fact that she had orchestrated a
man’s murder. She was beautiful but she was also deadly. She was just as hard
as this place we came from, and I’d had enough of the city hammering against my
foundation, as it was. Lusting after a woman who had it in her to be just as
cold, and just as calculating, as any other criminal I locked up on a
day-to-day basis was nowhere for my head to be while I was on the brink of war
with her deranged ex-lover.
I was pissed off when I bent
my head toward her. I was mad at myself. I was mad at her. More than all of
that, though, I was furious that either one of us had to be in this situation
in the first place. Every time I turned around, another bad thing or bad person
was nipping at my heels. It was getting harder and harder to stay a step ahead.
Eventually I was going to trip up and go down and there would no one left with
any kind of conscience in this place, no one left that cared about justice and
righteousness.
That anger had my hands
shaking as I reached up and used my thumbs to tilt her head back so her mouth
was pointed up at me. I didn’t have much time to date, didn’t have the patience
for a woman who didn’t understand that I was trying to save an entire city from
itself and that this took up most of my attention and energy. The ones I did
date were never just the right height, just the right size, and they sure as
hell never looked as perfect and as tempting as this woman did. None of them
had ever fit me the way she did and that pissed me off even more.
Jay Crownover is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Marked Men series. She also introduced the dark and sexy world of The Point in a new series this last summer starting with BETTER WHEN HE's BAD. Like her characters, she is a big fan of tattoos. She loves music and wishes she could be a rock star, but since she has no aptitude for singing or instrument playing, she'll settle for writing stories with interesting characters that make the reader feel something. She lives in Colorado with her three dogs.
Titus is my favorite love interest.
